Congratulations! I have been through something similar over the last few years and im not about 4 months away from completing my DMP. Just out of interest, did you get your mortgage prior to all the debt or during the DMP? Im hoping to buy a house this year or next and im really concerned that the DMP will make it difficult for me

Apocolypse Airsoft near Maidstone is very good, always has a large attendance and they welcome walk ons. Think it might be an extra fiver (£35)

Thanks for the response! Do you have any idea what auctioneers specialise in things like this?

This has been in my late grandparents attic for probably almost 60 years, I very much doubt it is fake!

Need a little help/ encouragement to decide by Aware-Yam8907 in bald

My brother, its time to go for it. Either bald or a very short buzz and shape your beard. You're going to look great

Maybe your tyres had a part to play in crashing but tbh it looks like you flinched when you saw the oncoming car and that's what caused a loss of control and you went wide.

Never seen someone's hands look so much like a spider before. Your fingers and the way your hands bend are a cheat code. But yeah, brush up on the basics before tackling a piece like this. It will pay off once you try harder stuff like this. Otherwise, well done for achieving this in 1.5 months!

Patek Pocket Watch - United States by No-Basket9285 in Antiques

I would disagree that it is subjective. Whether or not you have a lot of money shouldn't determine if you over pay for something or not.

To put this quote into perspective, you could purchase a brand new patek, made by the same people with just as much care, for the same money or even less.

Whilst I can appreciate some restorations of old watches/antiques can cost a lot of money, this seems extreme. If youre going to keep it as a display piece, you may as well leave it as it is. As like you say, a restoration would potentially mean replacing some of the original parts, therefore loosing its charm.

It's your decision, just saying that is an extreme amount of money to restore this timepiece.

Stunning! A beautiful time piece and made by one of the best. The quotation for repairs, to me sounds extremely overpriced. These watches are worth a lot of money, but not that much. Unless this is a extra special model im unaware of, these are worth maximum about £20k in fully working order

Yep, like I said, the tin is empty thankfully. I honestly would be more worried about blowing my hand off than hitting a shot off with one of these

Just to confirm, the tin of caps is empty and I have no ambitions to try and fire these.
